Maybe The Labour Party & Bridget Phillipson could start by supporting The WEA reverse a decision to DEFUND our grant funded work of £1.3m in the new North East MCA. From end of July. No reason given. North of Tyne Combined Authority leading on this so please show your support by RT wea.org.uk/news-views/new…

Not funding us will have a real & negative impact on local communities in NEMCA. We have spent 100+ years working in the community, so the idea we're not local is preposterous. NEMCA is abandoning community learning, the first step back into edu for many: bit.ly/3HKbqTW

The value of lifelong education should not be underestimated. Continued funding for adults of all ages makes sense. #weaadulted

Are you passionate about your community? Do you want to unlock the potential of local people and create opportunities for them?

By joining a WEA Local Advisory Panel, you can play a critical role in helping the largest adult education charity in the UK. wea.org.uk/about-us/gover…

And colleges/some IAL’s all of ACL with only adult provision get nothing

This is excellent news & Gillian Keegan MP deserves a lot of credit for treating colleges similarly to schools, but it is concerning that we treat colleges as a set of distinct funding streams, not as unified entities. Colleges with big adult provision miss out, that’s wrong
